Kasa Smart HS100 WiFi Smart Plug, Classic 1-Pack, White

Very upset that this will not work with my 5.2 router. Why was the product info not clearer that it will only work with 2.4??? Is there one available that WILL work with my router. After 3 kindles and my echo this is the first Amazon product I haver been upset about. I am not smart enough to know how to change my router and am hesitant to do so since I dont want to mess up my computer, my Kindles, my cell phone and two smart tvs. I also have two Dots on order will they work with my current router?? Gosh - I hope so!!!!! Since I am disabled I was really looking forward to telling Alexa to turn on my lamp. Is there another device that will work with my router? How do I go about returning the tp-link. I have the original box but I will have to pay someone to take it to the UPS office. , This is the only product from Amazon that I have ever been disappointed in. I have had 3 Kindles and words cannot express how much I LOVE my ECHO. Since I live alone and have no friends or family anywhere near, it is nice to hear another voice. I learn something new every day to use it for.

Sometimes we clearly invest in tech that does NOT make our lives easier. Im in the 1% demo for tech savvy - in short 2 comp sci degrees, Crestron Smart Home - 1 full GHz broadband - you get the picture. If your home has more than (1) SSID - i.e. guest network or any private networks for anything from a NAS, Print Server, Airplay - and so on - this may not be the right choice. 1st only 2.4ghz - know that up front. So if youre using a 5 ghz network solely (or as much as possible) - no dice. Plus what do you get with a device that is typically place very low on the wall and has the most picky reception ever - connectivity issues. If I spent one more minute configuring or reconfiguring these plugs - I will throw them in the lake! Not saying only 2.4ghz is a new thing - many devices such as smart thermostats and more will only use it due to range - 2.4 flat out goes through walls better - I get it! But many of us have dual band (or beyond) routers right - so if sitting here wasting time on a Friday Night messing with these plugs is not your idea of fun - skip this one! Oh wait instead of getting up to turn something off I will jump from my preferred iPhone Network (5ghz) cause its f a s t e r - and skip over to the 2.4ghz and to make sitting on my butt for 4 minutes monkeying around with these plugs my preference over getting up! One solution is to find the brand of old school A/C on and off plug adapters here on Amazon (best seller starting with E) with the simple white remote with number 1-5. Guess what when you kill power to them - #1 they kill the nominal drain to your appliance super well and #2 I read they had a 100 line of sight range.... But it wasnt until I purchased it that I realized they are low cost RF Remotes. That means radio-frequency - or dont have to point like a sharpshooter or worry if the plug adapter is low on your wall or behind a piece of furniture - imagine that! Basically if you are in the largest room (and beyond) of your home and the plug is hidden - no problem! Further the plugs (bought the 5 plug adapter kit for $29 here - yes (5) of them for the cost of one TP-Link - and some person whose actually done customer service actually printed numbers 1-5 on them and the small convenient remote (they gave 2 with purchase) has one vertical row 1-5 for ON and beside it one vertical row of OFF numbered 1-5. No configuring - no jumping wifi networks - and no muttering four letter words to yourself because youre gonna have to sit through the TP-Link app wizard or find your phone to reconfigure these. If youve read this far - Im amazed - so for you - YES they are Amazon Echo Compatible - oh joy! got me with that too - in for three of them for about $100. So when youre sitting there repeating the name of the device to Echo or you hear it tell you one more time that I cant find the device wrong name that Echo reiterates like it need to spell or have Ivy League Phonetics on Adams Network or Sorry Im having trouble right now, what is the name of the device youre looking for - and ps - Echo was still at volume 8 - because its best as your alarm clock - or youre scrambling for another remote so Echo can understand you which interrupts your game or movie. Ugggggh - honestly Im writing this narrative to save you the pain of spending your money to have these oversized disasters not work consistently or easily. PS - its not joy to maybe find a 2nd plug that can squeeze to the point of breaking something just to share a 2-outlet space for this near baseball sized adapter. If its not ungrounded (2-prong) or takes any liberties deviating from the smallest footprint possible - this big guy is the only thing that your 2-outlet space is gonna host! Ive wasted 15 minute chunks regularly over a few months before I spent $29 bucks for the 5 adapter E-brand with 100 radio frequency remote with zero programming, zero wifi and zero BS....... I submit this knowing I sound like a serious hater - but I know that some Amazonions will thank me!

After being a little hesitant about trying home automation things in my house, I decided to buy the amazon echo. It was over from there. I added a few of these smart plugs to the house and they work perfectly. Setup was a breeze. It took less than 5 minutes to be connected to my router and on the home network. It will require you to create a account with TP-Link but these days everything does. The app is simple to use and is designed to work instantaneously when you hit the on and off button. Tons of custom settings if you want to get into timers and other security features. You can keep adding more smart plugs to the same account without any trouble. I wish these smart plugs would shrink in size a little but all in due time. I am glad to see TP-Link is starting to come down in price. Honestly that was the only thing holding me back from more of these guys. Price needs to drop to make a viable option for everything to have a smart plug. After setup and plugged it in and named it and setup it on the app, of course I decided to use it with the Amazon Echo. Discovery on the Alexa app went perfect. It discovered all the smart plugs and that was it. After that using the Echo to control the plugs was as easy as say Alexa turn on family room lights. Works flawlessly, perfectly every time. I wish everything could work perfectly together like these two products. Highly recommended for not on controlling smart plugs with a app but if you have a Echo a must to have.....

UPDATE: back to five stars because these just wirk! i bought some ekticity ones to compare amd i couldnt get them to configure at all! order two more of these same day delivery and they went in like buttah. im happy npw. gave this 3stars because it WAS 5stars, until i had to deal with customer service, which was <1star, to say the least. i got a new router, got it all set up, it wouldnt find my smart plug. followed the instructions, which were just a futile loop, a dozen times, then came here, where it advertises customer support 24/7 with no link where to get it. googled their web page, held a reasonable anount of time, finally connected to a girl who had absolutely no idea what she was doing, and barely spoke english. spent a futile half hour during which i told her what i was doing step by step, instead of the other way around, and finally asked to speak to someone else. there was no one else. supervisor. hold. horrible music. i tried reconnecting a couple more times, nada. then i got the bright idea to set up another, brand new plug which i was planning on doing next, anyway, and voila! it picked up the new router fine. went back to reconfigure that old one and voila! it now picked up the new router fine. she came back on the line to tell me the supervisor was too busy, and i very slowly explained to her what i had done. i have very little confidence that she understood. takeaway: IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE ROUTER ON ONE OF THESE PLUGS, YOU FIRST HAVE TO SET UP A WHOLE BRAND NEW ONE. it will then pick up the new router settings and connect to it automaticaly when you go back and re-set up the old one. this has obvious advantages, to them, and very blatant disadvantages to the consumer. i have been buying these one at a time as i convert each room to smart and had planned to buy several more. now i will buy another brand.

Wow, I got this thing installed in less than 5 minutes. The app was very user friendly and detail with step by step setup instructions, except they got the App name wrong on the manual, it did not match the name in the App Store, however the icon was correct. So make sure you look at the app icon, not the name and install the correct version. To test it I have tried to unplug it and it relinked with my router within seconds. So far very reliable, after testing a few events and the power all turned on and off at the right time. For those who are unfamiliar with setting up schedule using the concept of events, just remember to program the ON event first followed by creating a second event to turn the power OFF, total of 2 events needed to turn you light on and off, otherwise it would just stay ON all the time. One event does one action On or OFF but not both. The smart plug works as follows: When it is powered and connected to the Wifi, it awaits an event signal ON or OFF and memorizes schedule(s) set with the App even when unplugged. but if there is no Wifi signal it will not be able to execute the event signal and the device will be at the state it was before the Wifi is disconnected. So for example, if you scheduled an ON event at 9am and an OFF event at 10am but if there was a power failure at 9:50am and came back at 10:05am, it would not have received the OFF commend at 10am and therefore would have remained in the state of ON until it receives the next OFF command. If you are going to use this to power appliance that are dangerous if left on, this can not be a fool prove solution. This model is for up to 15A about 1500W device and it costs about $7 more compared to the mini one which handles only 10A at about 1000W.

I never thought Id buy one of these. But I got one as a gift with an Amazon Echo (also not something I thought Id ever buy). It sat for months until I finally decided, what the heck, Ill set up a floor lamp using this. Set up was relatively simple. The app can be kind of glitchy though and sometimes it loses my preset schedule, but then it appears again, so Im not sure what that is. I moved in with my boyfriend so it migrated to his house. He enjoyed getting to give the lamp a ridiculous name. Its actually turned out to be very convenient because we no longer come home at night to a dark house due to the schedule the lamps are on. And when were watching tv/movies, we can turn off the lamp without getting up. It became so convenient we bought one for the lamp on the other side of the room, which my boyfriend also enjoyed giving a ridiculous name. Now I kind of want one for the floor lamp in the bedroom (its such a first world problem, but its a pain to get out of bed to turn off the lamp when you just got in it). However, wed need another Amazon smart device, and I havent decided if I want to buy one of those yet. Still a little iffy on Alexa listening to all that I do, and do I really want her in the bedroom listening?

I got these smart plug outlets so I could get Alexa to cut my nightlights and christmas tree on and off. They work like they say and require no hub however sometimes Alexa wont cut them on even though see says ok after I tell her to cut on kitchen. If this happens you click on the reset button on the smart plug and it fixes the issue. You need the Kasa Phone App to get these to work. You have to set them up there and then for the Alexa you need an amazon echo,tap or dot and you need to get Alexa to discover the smartplug devices in the alexa app. You can plug anything into these for example to test after Alexa discovered the Living Room Plug I plugged a fan into it. Worked like a charm she cut the fan on and off. Update Decided to buy the Smart Switch HS200 to cut my porch lights on and off when Im not home. Dont waste your money on this product. It doesnt work. It says cant be reached and it wont work on my own wifi signal it wants to use its own on Kasa even after setting it up. Alexa cant find these devices either. I got 2 and had an electrician install them for $172. For some reason Amazon has smart switch under my smart plug review. I recommend the smart plugs but the Smart Switches are defective and poorly made. I give them 1 star. Im no better off now then I was before I bought these switches. I just wasted over $300. Switch continues to alternate between orange and green. Update Again I now recommend this product. I put in the wrong password and thats why it wouldnt work. I am now able to tell Alexa to cut my Front and Back Porch lights off and am able to use the Kasa App to cut them on and off. This will hopefully help with my electric bill since Ill no longer have to worry about leaving the porch light on when I go to work. Note Switch must be turned on for the app and alexa to work. When its off you see a white circle. You dont need Alexa though you can turn your devices on and off from the kasa app and dont even need to be home. I recommend unplugging these smart plugs during Thunderstorms because Lightning Strikes arnt covered under the warrenty. The smart plugs are a cheap way to automate your house and you dont need to hire an electrician to install them because you just plug them in. I eventually plan to get the smart switches for my porch lights . On a side note if you unplug these smart plugs and plug them back in they will hook back up to wifi within 5 seconds. When you see the green light your good to go. When you cut devices on or off thru the Kasa App or thru Alexa you hear a click which is normal. Finally this device works with the amazon tap though with the tap you have to mash the button to tell it to cut on kitchen for example or cut off kitchen. I prefer the echo since my voice can activate it without having to mash a button. The smart plugs by the way come nicely packaged and with a quick set up guide. I highly recommend TP Link Smart Plugs. I now have 3 and you cant find these at Lowes or Homedepot so your best bet is amazon and if you have prime shipping is free.

I got this as part of the Black Friday promo for purchasing an Echo Dot. Like the other TP-Link products I have purchased, the set-up is pretty easy from the TP-Link Kasa app. I think some people might get stuck when they attempt to connect to their own wi-fi network. For what ever reason, I notice that the TP-Link products always list my neighbors network first instead of mine. I solved that by clicking the option below the listed network to find my own. As for the product I have had no problems connecting or loss of signal. My plug is on the second floor of my home about twenty feet in distance from the wi-fi router. Not bad considering all the flooring and walls. My only complaint is that the smart plug covers the entire outlet. Not a problem for the room I am using as it only had one lamp running to that wall outlet. All the same, I cannot plug anything else into that wall outlet. My suggestion is that you might want to use this smart plug for a single appliance like a fan or Christmas lights. If you want to have smart features for a lamp, I would suggest purchasing a smart light bulb (see my review for the TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch HS200) which is likely to have more features and allow you to keep full access to your wall outlet.

Arrived well packaged. took about 10 min from the time packaged was received until Alexa was turning my light on and off :) Downloaded the app simple enough..created an account with email and password. Plugged in the smart plug, app found it, left the app, let phone connect to the plug under wifi settings, back into app and added my wifi password, plugged in lamp, added device in the alexa app...and that was it, unbelievably easy to do. currently I am using Alexa on my fireTV..the echo doesnt arrive until next week. its all the same cloud so I am sure it will be no different. I highly recommend this product as I will be buying more here in the future..Only reason I dont have a houseful right now, is that the wife limits what I can spend on my techy stuff...ha ha ha Only thing that remains to be seen is longevity of the plug, but for now..well done TP-link.. its easy and it works! UPDATE: liked the first one so much ordered and received a 2nd one. Setup was even quicker.. Unbox, plug in, open kasa app, finds device, exit app, connect to device in wifi settings on phone. Go back into app, device ready to use. Go into Alexa app, discover new device, add device to the group I previously created and done! Whole process took 5-7 minutes. Alexa can now turn on/off both bedroom lamps or just one lamp at a time. I can also use the kasa app if I wish. NOTE: so it does and does not cover both plugs in a standard socket. A 2 prong (non grounded) plug will work but a 3 prong (grounded) plug will not fit in the same receptacle as this device.

I sincerely regret the heavy investment I made in these (Tp-Link/Kasa) devices. Ive bought a LOT of the wall switches, smart plugs (both with and without energy monitoring) and lightbulbs (both white and color). I am so bloody sick and f****** tired of the steaming pile of dog poo AKA Alexa. Alexa NEVER works, is always going offline, showing the red ring of death while yapping that something is wrong. And its NOT my Wifi, I have THREE AeroHive AP250 mesh WAPs (very high power enterprise class device) covering a two story home of 1,200sqt per floor which is massive, massive overkill. So its NOT my Wifi, at all. Anyway, Alexa is complete and utter GARBAGE and is 100% unreliable. The only thing you can be sure of with Alexa is that it never works. I hate and despise Alexa with a raging passion like nothing ever before in all my 60 years on this rotten rock. Im just about two more “Sorry, I’m having trouble understanding right now. Please try a little later” blathering from taking a hammer to every freaking one of them in my house. I am permanently disabled and wheelchair dependent, I got these things to assist me, supposedly to make my life a little better. Theyve done nothing of the kind. A consequence of Alexa never working is that all these nifty Kasa devices dont work either, when I need them to! Alexa is garbage. Im so done with it. Im now at the point where I need to abandon Alexa and my dependency upon it and replace it with Homekit/Siri. I keep my iPhone attached to me at all times, specifically for fall detection. Siri responds when I request it but it can not control the Kasa app or the Tp-Link devices in my home. The other annoyance is that there is no local control ability at all. I tried hard to find some sort of like, wireless remote that will control things purely by local control, for like when Alexa isnt working, which is 1000 times a day! Im so bloody mad that I spent so much money on all this junk and it ends up being almost worthless to me. I think maybe Ill sell it all and replace everything with bluetooth controlled switches so that its never dependent upon a remote server or connecting to the outside world at all. Let me be clear, my complaint is that these things are locked in to Alexa, Siri isnt allowed access and Alexa is extreme garbage. With Alexa always broken these devices dont work. OPEN THEM UP TO HOMEKIT/SIRI !!!!!!!1 I wish I could send it all back for a refund but its waaaay past that time and Im to deeply invested in it to just trash it without an immediate, drop in replacement system. Bottom line, IF I had a way to do it all over again, I wouldnt even go down this path at all. There must be better ways than this.
